White Papers
Comics Scholarship, Academic Libraries, and Social Justice
White Paper
This White Paper summarizes and discusses data gathered at three local and national forums that examined librarian and college-level disciplinary faculty needs and perceptions of using comics in higher education. In part, this project explores how well libraries are meeting the needs of their comics communities. Included was an examination of using comics for the study of social justice and social issues, and the role of academic libraries in providing support for scholarly engagement with comics that address those issues.
